Accurate Pulp Mill Consistency Measurement Required
The graph above displays the actual results from lab verification samples taken from the defiberlizer. |
Problem / Issue:
Pulp Mill Consistency Measurement Requires Accurate Measurement over a Wide Range of Consistency Levels.
Overview:
The overall throughput (TPD) of the fiber line is traditionally calculated from a single consistency measurement device. This measurement must be accurate and repeatable.
TECO Solution:
C9700 Fixed Wing Consistency Sensor.
How the TECO Solution Solves The Problem...
The TECO C9700 Fixed Wing Consistency Sensor is designed to accurately measure over a wide consistency range, including low consistency swings from variations in blow tank levels. This sensor has proven consistency ranges from 1.5 % to 7.0%, over a wide range of velocity (flow) rates.
As an example, the above graph displays the results from a southern kraft pulp mill application, after the blow tank, prior to the defiberlizer.

TECO HK Series Microwave Consistency Transmitter Technical Review
TECO HK Series Microwave Consistency Transmitters |
Typically less than half of the cost of other microwave transmitters, the HK series microwave transmitters will measure the percentage of total solids of additives in water and percentage of moisture in wood chips with the same transmitter. Applications include measurement and control of machine, recycle & broke stock, measurement and control of % totals solids of starch additives, measurement and control of % solids (limestone, kaolin clay) in coatings.
- Low cost – typically less than half the cost of other microwave transmitters
- Easy to install
- One point calibration
- Adjustable antenna units to maximize sensitivity to process conditions
- Internally compensated for temperature
- No routine maintenance required. Install & forget!
- Current and Digital Outputs
- Contact closure
- Versatile – Same transmitter can be used in Pipes, tanks, chests, belts & chutes.
- Paper and Board Mills:
- Machine Stock Consistency Measurement and Control
- Broke Consistency Measurement and Control
- Paper Mills
- Bleaching State Feed Consistency
- Consistency Measurement & Control in Fiber Lines with changing Wood Species
- Production Measurment at Integrated Mills

A Quick and Easy Presentation on Measuring Freeness in Pulp & Paper Production
Drainac Freeness Analyzer |
A Freeness Analyzer is an on-line, in-process field instrument used as a production orientated tool that directly measures drainage rate (freeness).
It operates on the basic principle of how easily water will drain through a pad of fiber. Approximately every 30 seconds, the Freeness Analyzer measures the rate of filtrate flow through a fiber pad.
Once the freeness has been determined, air pressure is increased to return the filtrate and fiber to the stock line in preparation for the next cycle. At the same time, flush water is introduced into the chamber to clean the screen and interior of the chamber.
This information is regarded as a “window” into the process as an indirect measurement of fiber quality. The TECO Drainac is the only freeness measurement device that actually measures the true drainage rate, or from the papermaker’s standpoint, actually measures the drainage of the stock on the forming fabric.
Consider Flowmeter & Instrument Remanufacturing as a Viable Alternative to New
Example of instrument remanufacture |
But if you send meters to the original manufacturer, they can disappear into their system for weeks or months. And you have no idea how long it will really take, or if it will fail again later from undetected problems.
Example of mag meter remanufacture |
For a proven partner like this, there's only TECO. Established in 1947, TECO has become the global leader in restoration and customization of magnetic flow meters, Coriolis meters, and other process control instruments. At TECO, they understand that time is money, which is why they provide the fastest turnaround time in the industry. TECO doesn't simply repair a broken part in return it, they do a full restoration and back the whole meter with a full warranty.
Example of mass flowmeter remanufacture |
TECO quality control includes NIST traceable flow calibration, which is often required by regulatory agencies and ISO 9000 standards. TECO also provides independent calibration to serve your preventative maintenance and metrology needs. While their low-cost, high-quality work has made TECO the industry leader, it's their commitment to premium customer service that keeps their clients loyal. Extensive capabilities combined with a focus on service also means TECO can manufacture custom flowmeter solutions to meet the demands of severe applications.
